This is despite the continued controversial actions by the Israeli authorities in the Gaza Strip. The countries that have withdrawn are Spain, The Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland. This is the largest number of boycotting countries in the contests’ history alongside the 1970 contest in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania have confirmed that they are returning to the contest. This is the lowest number of countries participating in a Eurovision contest since 2003.
